We back people to protect rainforest and climate crisis

Story

I am raising money for Cool Earth. 

I would like to do my part and try and save the rainforests. All the money raised will go towards making this a greener planet.

I am raising as much awareness about climate change and the rainforests by writing to as many influential people as possible.

I have had responses from Sir David Attenborough, Boris Johnson and The Queen.

In the Amazon rainforest alone, a single square mile of rainforest often houses more than 50,000 insect species.

Tropical forests have the highest carbon density of all forest types due to their ability for vast carbon sequestration. Therefore, protecting rainforest is one of the most effective actions we can take to tackle climate breakdown.

Deforestation releases as much carbon into the atmosphere as the global transport sector and destroys the best carbon capture and storage technology we have.

The reality of climate change is no longer up for debate. It is real and it is happening now. Our changing climate is the most pressing challenge facing our world today. Forest loss plays a major part in this, contributing to more than 12% of all CO2 emissions. Keeping rainforest standing is the simplest and cheapest way to mitigate climate change.

COOL EARTH IS A CHARITY THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE RAINFOREST COMMUNITIES TO HALT DEFORESTATION AND ITS IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

Cool Earth shares the most effective conservation methods around the world and invests in those with the potential for best outcomes for people and rainforest. 

Innovation is the key to scaling up rapid rainforest protection and the lessons learned in one partnership can often be applied to benefit another. 

We work with communities who want to protect their forest. From setting up an in-country team to working directly with communities and local NGOs to develop their capacity, our partnerships are community-led and adaptable to each location.

By supporting Cool Earth, you’re taking the smartest climate action there is.

Cool Earth supports local and indigenous knowledge to develop innovative ways to address threats to the forest while making communities stronger and more resilient.

We then share the best ways to protect rainforest through our network of partnerships around the world.
